this is where food justice with a plant-based/decolonial diet perspective meet hip hop and where we explore the intersections of other animal/human/earth liberation. hip hop is rooted in resistance and rich with experience in fighting for social justice. veganism is about practicing compassion and is motivated by living cruelty-free for the sake of other animals. the fusion of veganism and hip hop is designed to promote holistic activism..

My Veganism: Hip Hop Artist Sole on His Music and Message
Posted on July 16, 2013 by ANIMALVOICESRADIO
Hip hop artist Sole (Tim Holland) has been veg since age 11 and rapping since 13, but he has never been interviewed about animal rights topics… until today! Animal Voices is delighted to welcome Sole to talk about his music and his transition into on-the-ground activism, spurred by the Occupy movement. This wide-ranging conversation also touches on growing your own food, the intersection between veganism, race, and rap, and the influence of Charlotte’s Web on a very young Tim. The interview features clips from two of Sole’s tracks, Theme and I Think I’m Noam Chomsky. To listen to more of Sole’s work, visit soleone.org and sole.bandcamp.com.

Styles P’s Latest Release (peta2 interview)
Styles P’s Latest Release
"I just wanted to be healthy. I stopped eating pork when I was 12 or 13 and then I stopped eating beef when I was on the “No Way Out” tour …. I was driving by some farm and for at least the length of a mile there’s plain land. I could see mad cows stacked next to one another … like an assembly line. I see those cows and it just didn’t look right...Besides that, I’m a father, so a lot of it really started to kick in when I was thinking from a father point of view. I don’t want my kids growing up eating the same bullcrap. I think the better you eat, the better person you are."
